Add new partitions to Linux on VMWare Workstation Virtual Machine

The Linux system I installed on wmware workstation. The partition is too small during installation.

Therefore, the installation of the software (WebLogic) fails due to insufficient space.

You need to allocate more space to Linux.

Add a new partition to Linux.

Steps:

1. Open the system on the virtual machine.

2. select Edit virtual mathine settings in the commands Area

3. Click Add in hardware to add a hard disk partition.

At this time, the partition format is not available, and Linux cannot recognize it. Run the fdisk-l command in Linux to view the partition information. This shows your new partition, but it cannot be used because it has no format.

Format:

Run the command: # mkfs. ext3/dev/hdb1 --------------------/dev/hdb1 is the new partition you can view.

You can use it after formatting, but it must be mounted to: Mount/dev/hdb1/mnt/hdb1

In this way, you can install the software you want to install in the new partition.
